Juliana Marins: Autopsy reveals devastating cause of Brazilian tourist's death in Indonesian volcano fall

What began as a once-in-a-lifetime trek up one of Indonesia's most majestic volcanoes ended in tragedy for Brazilian traveller Juliana Marins — and now, a forensic investigation has uncovered chilling new details about what really happened on the mountain. Ms Marins, a 26-year-old publicist and dancer from Rio de Janeiro, was climbing Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok when she fell during the early hours of Saturday morning, just short of the summit. Towering more than 3700 metres above sea level, the volcano is known for its breathtaking views and treacherous terrain. Drone footage captured shortly after the fall showed Ms Marins alive but visibly distressed. She sat disoriented in the dust, 200 metres below the main path, as hikers shouted words of encouragement from above. Then she vanished, reported. After a gruelling and delayed search, her body was located days later, much further down the mountain. Authorities now believe a second fall may have caused the fatal injuries. An autopsy conducted by Indonesian forensic specialist Dr Ida Bagus Putu Alit has now confirmed that Ms Marins died from blunt force trauma to 'almost all parts of her body,' resulting in massive internal bleeding. Her worst injuries, Dr Ida said, were to her chest and back, which caused her lungs to hemorrhage. 'There were wounds to the chest area, and especially the chest and the back. These injuries damaged the internal organs. We saw a huge amount of bleeding in the chest cavity,' he said. She also sustained a head injury and a broken left thigh bone, but Dr Ida said those were not the primary cause of death. The terrain on Mount Rinjani, a mix of loose sand, pebbles and jagged rocks, is believed to have worsened her fall. Scratches, abrasions and extensive bruising were found across her body. Asked how she could have been seen alive in drone footage if she died quickly, Dr Ida said the evidence suggests her most serious injuries likely came from a second fall, after she was initially spotted. Weather conditions hampered the rescue effort, and when teams reached the area where she was last seen, she was gone. Her body was later discovered approximately 600 metres further down the mountain. Dr Ida placed her time of death between 12 and 24 hours before he examined her, which would indicate she died on Wednesday. However, rescuers who reached her on Tuesday said there were no signs of life, raising the possibility that the autopsy timeline was complicated by the fact that her body had been moved and later stored in a mortuary freezer. While Dr Ida ruled out hypothermia based on the absence of certain signs, he noted that some standard tests for cold exposure couldn't be conducted. Toxicology results, which are expected to take two weeks, are still pending. He emphasised this is routine and does not suggest Ms Marins was under the influence of any substances. Ms Marins had been travelling through Southeast Asia and was reportedly in high spirits. In a final message sent to her mother before setting off on the trip, she wrote, 'I love you all very much! And I will always be grateful for all the support, care and affection. That is what makes me not afraid.'

"Mami, I Love You": Last Text Of Brazilian Hiker Who Fell Into Indonesian Volcano

A Brazilian hiker who died after falling from a cliff while trekking on an active volcano in Indonesia had sent a heartbreaking text message to her mother at the start of her trip. Juliana Marins was hiking Mount Rinjani - the second-highest volcano in Indonesia - with a group on June 21 when she slipped and fell into a ravine. She was trapped for four days in the active volcano before authorities discovered her dead. Ms Marins, who was a publicist and pole dancer from Brazil, had been travelling across Asia since February, reported the New York Post. According to the report, when she first started her trip to the Philippines, the hiker messaged her mother saying she loves her and she felt "heartbroken" saying goodbye. "Mami, I love you so much. I was heartbroken when we said goodbye. In fact, that's the only thing that worries me: letting you, papi or my sister be disappointed. Other than that, I'm not afraid of much, much less trouble," Ms Marins wrote. She also told her mother that she was not afraid of difficulties as she was raised by a woman who could "solve any problem". "I was raised by a woman who can solve any problem and who is not afraid to take the plunge and go after her dreams. I am like that too. I have different desires and dreams. I love you all very much! And I will always be grateful for all the support, care and affection. That is what makes me fearless," she said. According to Indonesian officials, the 26-year-old hiker slipped and plummeted around 490 feet down the cliff face. The tragic fall took place around 6:30 in the morning. Drone footage had revealed that she was still alive despite the initial "screams for help" that were heard, reported The New York Post. However, the dense fog covering the volcano and other unfavourable circumstances prevented rescue workers from reaching her. Officials added that Ms Marins was stuck on soft land, making it challenging to try to pull her with ropes. "After four days of labour, hindered by unfavourable weather, terrain, and visibility conditions in the area, teams from Indonesia's Search and Rescue Agency discovered the body of the Brazilian tourist," the Brazilian government said. Located on the Indonesian island of Lombok, the volcano is more than 12,000 feet high and is a famous tourist destination in the Southeast Asian archipelago. Many people, including a Malaysian visitor last month, have lost their lives while hiking on the mountain.

Urgent rescue mission for tourist lost near volcano's crater

Rescuers in Indonesia are racing to find a Brazilian tourist who disappeared after falling near the crater of Mount Rinjani, an active volcano popular with hikers. The woman, identified by family and Brazilian media as 26-year-old Juliana Marins, was hiking with a group when she vanished around 6:30am on Saturday. According to Brazil's foreign minister, she reportedly slipped from a cliff near the volcano's crater rim. Indonesian authorities said rescue efforts have been severely hampered by rugged terrain and dense fog. Over the weekend, park officials confirmed hearing Ms Marin's cry for help. At the time, she appeared to be conscious but in shock. Drone footage and videos captured by fellow hikers showed Ms Marins alive on Saturday, sitting and moving in a steep grey slope far below the hiking trail. But when rescuers later descended 300 metres to her believed location, she could not be found and did not respond to calls, the BBC reported. By Sunday, the drone showed she was no longer visible, and weather conditions, including thick fog, limited the use of thermal imaging. On Monday, now the third day, rescuers reportedly spotted Ms Marins again, although she had fallen even further down the volcano. Her family said teams had only been able to descend 250 metres, with another 350 metres remaining, before they were forced to turn back. Frustrated relatives have criticised authorities, claiming Mount Rinjani remains open to tourists while Ms Marins is still missing without food, water or warm clothing. 'She still has no water, food, or warm clothes for three days!' the family wrote on social media. Brazil's foreign ministry has confirmed it is working with Indonesian officials and has dispatched two embassy staff to monitor the search. Members of Ms Marin's hiking group described the trek as extremely challenging, with slippery terrain and low visibility before sunrise. One hiker told Brazilian outlet Globo the group was using 'a simple lantern' to navigate the difficult path. Mount Rinjani, Indonesia's second-highest volcano at over 3,700 metres, has been the site of past hiking tragedies. A Portuguese tourist died in 2022, and a Malaysian climber fell to his death in May this year.
